#SheParty on Progressive Women's & Girls' Voices

On May 30, The Women's Media Center held its weekly twitter happy hour–#sheparty–at 3pm to discuss our Progressive Women's and Girls' Voices media training programs.

  1. Several PWV alumnae were kind enough to join #sheparty and tell us about their experiences.
  2. Feminist activist and PWV alum Shelby Knox offered to answer any questions tweeps had about the program, as did director and producer Nancy Schwartzman and feminist teacher Ileana Jiménez.
  3. Hi #SheParty! Happy to answer ?'s about how @womensmediacntr #PWV works & benefits of applying. Which you can do here: bit.ly/zVjphq
  4. PWV is: talking points, on-camera experience, advice and strategy for staying on message AND an awesome #feminist cohort #sheparty
  5. What's the benefit of #PWV? (we asked).
  6. The benefit of feminist media training: trainers who know that a woman's experience is all she needs to change the world. #sheparty #pwv
  7. .@shelbyknox yes, and #PWV teaches you how to handle the hostile interview, deal w/ #sexism and to see yourself in your cohort #Sheparty
  8. @womensmediacntr The #pwv media training catapulted me from zero to ten. There would be no @feministteacher blog, radio spots, etc #sheparty
  9. Shepartiers discussed their feelings about PWV and asked some questions.
  10. @ShelbyKnox #sheparty I so understand your statement...I'm ALWAYS told I don't have the credentials even though my experience is evident
  11. Hi everyone at #sheparty ! Just joining in. I'm getting that this is about feminist media training, but what does #PWV and #PGV stand?
  12. Sounds amazing! What kinds of things did you do following the #PWV training? #sheparty
  13. @womensmediacntr #sheparty I have a lot of expertise, just haven't found a good way to pitch it - sounds like #pwv could help with that?
  14. Would like to know more about how PWV helps you to pitch yourself or "own your expertise" as @ShelbyKnox said #sheparty
  15. Some of our alums weighed in on these questions.
  16. #pwv media training at @womensmediacntr allowed me to be in a cohort of women changing the world; made us visible to each other #sheparty
  17. Feminist comedian and PWV alum Katie Halper had good things to say about the program.
  18. I definitely recommend #pwv, as an alum of the program. It's great! #sheparty
  19. What are some other benefits of the program? Ileana Jiménez and WMC's VP of Programs Jamia Wilson helped explain the networking value of #PWV trainings.
  20. You get to meet the women not only in your #pwv cohort but also in others, linking to new media opps, activism, & collaborations #sheparty
  21. The network of #PWV alumnae is one of the most powerful parts of the program. Apply: bit.ly/Jq3KRQ #Sheparty
  22. After media training #PWV alumni are invited to be on @shesource our database of women experts available for media interviews #sheparty
  23. How did you use your #PWV skills after the training?
